Greetings from Germany!
Very well done Mike! I really appreciate this new forum. I do understand it is a big step for most Amphicar-Lovers, but folks, you get used to the new forum very fast. The very big advantage is the search tool to find previous threads. I have saved all Amphicar-Lovers-Group emails so far, but finding past emails about special subjects is a nightmare waste of time. So I really prefer this great forum!
Thanks Mike

I think that over time we will see further breakout of sections. Since folks are accustomed to the Yahoo model of one big bucket for everything I will wait a bit before creating many sections. I may do the off-topic sooner.

Mike,
Thanks for the work on the new site...I think we'll all grow to love it! One question I have relates to your comment above about the "big bucket for everything" style we're used to. How best can one log on to the site and find everything that is new since they last visited? If posts are added to a thread from weeks ago, it may be multiple pages away and hard to find. I see the nice little icons that tell which threads have "new posts"....and I also see the link that says "todays posts". Those somewhat fill the bill. Is there any way to find all "unread posts"? One other thing, I noticed that the icon for hot threads with new posts is the same as the one for hot threads without new posts.
Thanks again!
Marc Schlemmer.

I've not had much time to work on it but hope to get it all polished up this week. I should be trasfering the archives which will make searching much easier and more powerful. Will also be welcoming some new sponsors! Still on target for cut-over next weekend.

As noted in the FAQ, currently the daily digest provides only the subject lines of new posts with links to those posts. When you opt for individual email delivery you do get full text. As soon as a more robust daily digest becomes available it will be implemented.

Struggling to work out how to post a new message to the forum. I've figured out how to reply to an existing message and that sorta works. Takes a lot longer than a Yahoo list but gets there in the end. I assume there must be a way to start a new post by email ? Is there a magic word I need to put in the subject heading ?

The system checks for, and distributes new messages every ten minutes. Where lags have occured it seems to be with email process itself. In other words, at times it takes a while for the newly posted message to go from the senders email server to the email server at amphicar770.com

If you are still having trouble posting new messages, please copy one of them to me at mike_israel so I can look at the headers and figure out what is going on.
